What to Expect

Players manage one or more cyclists on a modular race track made of cards. Riders appear on cards losing strength as the race progresses. Through open drafting, players strategically select cards to improve their chances and collect prize money. The game simulates a 1960s Italian cycling race with a dynamic card-based course.

Who Is This Game For?

Il Campionissimo is suited for sports and cycling enthusiasts seeking a short, tactical game. It is a family-friendly game with moderate complexity and includes a solo mode, making it accessible for players without prior experience.

How It Works

Using a modular board made of road cards, players reveal cards one by one starting farthest from the finish. Riders appear beneath cards, losing strength each time. Players take turns drafting cards openly to manage their riders and gather prize money until one crosses the finish line.
